| Cook your meals instead of buying out. |
| Freeze leftovers to use for quick meals. |
| Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. |
| Eat wholegrain foods. |
| Walk regularly and as much as possible. |
| Weigh yourself each day. |
| Purchase clothes that fit you at your current weight and shape. |
| Find support from family, friends, or your fitness trainer. |
| Eat a 100-200 calorie snack every 3-4 hours to keep the hunger pangs at bay. |
| Never skip breakfast. |
| Use skim milk and calorie-free sweetener instead of cream and sugar for your coffees and teas. |
| Eat fresh fruits instead of dried fruits to cut back on calories and feel more satisfied. |
| Use butter and mayonnaise sparingly or if possible not at all. |
| Reach for the diet version of sodas or go for water to conserve calories. |
| Finish off the day with a light supper. |
| Have a positive attitude. Never say never. |
| Always wait at least 3 hours before going to sleep after eating something. |
| Take the stairs instead of the elevator. |
| Don’t overeat; rather only eat when you are hungry. |
